Efforts have been made to establish new healthcare structures, as in China, or upgrade existing infrastructure, as in India. Priority will be to ensure that new healthcare systems are accessible, equitable, affordable and patient centric, putting in place rules and systems that will continue to deliver these values, uninterrupted.

‘Tamil Nadu Smiling’ is aimed at bringing together the people of the State, its traders and retail organisations and government authorities to find ways to emerge from the effects of the pandemic.

As part of this initiative, the series of webinars, in various formats and panning across industries, will bring together key stakeholders to create awareness among consumers and the trade fraternity.
